Okay, so in a weak moment, I took the plunge, Here is my first card with that stamp set:
Love, love, love those lined images. While today I used them more as part of a collage with the stamped leaves and just a light color wash of Wisteria Wonder, I look forward to truly water coloring them with more depth of color. The leaves look rather faint due to stamping on watercolor paper, which adds to the collage effect.
The card today uses this week's wonderful sketch at Freshly Made Sketches:
It is also for the weekly color challenge at Colourq Tuesday:
They always have lovely color challenges at cQc but it has never worked out for me to join the challenge. However, this week I had begun building my card for the FMS sketch challenge in a monochromatic palate of Pool Party, so it was relatively easy to incorporate the remainder of the colors.
Finally, I'm entering this is the SU Only Challenge blog (suochallenges.com) where the theme is to make a spring card. I guess this is a spring-y birthday card!
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark, heat embossed with white embossing powder and cut out with a Windows Collection framelit. I love the intricate detail of this stamp.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I'd love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment!
Hugs,
Stef

Very pretty! Love your stamped background strip. Thanks for joining SUO Challenges this week.
Oh...love how you made your "designer paper" with the stamps! Very pretty...you'll be glad you purchased that set! Thanks for playing along with the SUO Challenge!
This is lovely Stef - and you are going to have SO much more fun with the Secret Garden bundle! I was in the same boat as you; resisted for a bit, but then gave in, and am mighty glad I did. I look forward to seeing what else you make. :)
Ditto. I wasn't going to get this set for the same reasons that you mentioned, but the bundle with the die cuts was too enticing. With your lovely card and the cards you'll be making with this set, I know you're going to enable others, too! This is really a beautiful card. Love the colors, too. Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
